Lower Saxony (German: Niedersachsen [ˈniːdɐzaksn̩], Low German: Neddersassen) is a German state (Land) situated in northwestern Germany. It is the second largest state by land area, with 47,624 square kilometres (18,388 sq mi), and fourth largest in population (7.9 million) among the sixteen Länder federated as the Federal Republic of Germany. In rural areas Northern Low Saxon, a dialect of Low German, and Saterland Frisian, a variety of the Frisian language, are still spoken, but the number of speakers is declining.
People have been flocking to Bad Nenndorf to be cured by its healing waters for more than two centuries, ever since Count Wilhelm IX of Hessen-Kassel founded the spa town in 1787. Situated about 20 miles west of Hannover, the village of Nenndorf actually has a history going back much further than the "Bad" (baths), at least to the 10th century. The tranquil Kurpark (Spa Park) was designed like an English landscape park and is filled with many exotic trees that are now over 200 years old.
